Hanging around and getting the string of things!
2 GoodGymers made their way to help an isolated older person in Kingston upon Thames.

*Mirror, Mirror on the wall
We really hope you do not fall!*
Laura and Kate battled the wind, rain, hail and windy street to help Mrs N rearrange her mirrors. Upon arrival, we were directed to the first mirror that needed to be brought down. Then over to another room to remove a mirror and hang it in the gap that we had left by removing the first mirror. The string was needed for this one and then we were ready to removed the packaging on a third mirror to prepare for hanging. After battling with the cable ties and polystyrene tubes, we finally freed it and balanced it on the mantlepiece to size it up. Unfortunately the screws from the old mirror were not in the right place, so our string tying skills were required once again. We channelled our inner Ross to pivot the mirror, eventually getting it straight(ish) after (what felt like) 20 attempts. Once we got the nod from Mrs N and were about to be on our way, she remembered her new clock. In no time, the new clock was swapped with the old one and it fit perfectly. Luckily the sun had come out by then, so the cycle home was much drier!

Well done for taking the time to look after Mrs Ns things. Glad you beat the clock too. 👍
Great mission both - I'm sure Mrs N was very grateful for all your help.
